I've found plenty of good pouches, waterproof and not waterproof. Maxpedition has two pouches I really like! They can easily be attached to the belt with a carabiner.

Waterproof cellphone pouches is another direction I've researched. Most of them seem too flat to store things like a Heat Sheet, etc. And the ones that are too big are just borderline too big!

Reviews provide a mixed bag on how reliable cell phone pouches are for real waterproofness to protect a cell phone.

The Otter, etc type boxes appear to be the best guarantee for real waterproofness, but they are not 100%. But they are so bulky, even the small ones.

Hey I still use my make up remover containers with the screw down lid and inner tubing for PSK...I remember Alukban laughed so hard when he saw it was for make up...but whatever works...

Ronnie, I still use those taped up pill pouches and Magellan map pouches you sent to me years ago...they have proven to be even more reliable than my S2S dry bags!!! The small red one I got from Brumbie in a WE was the best, it lasted many years but....I guess i was too rough on it and the bottom developed a pin hole leak...either that or a stray ember got to it one night! I realize now from years of experience learned the hard way--haha that a major part of preparedness and your kits in working order is making sure to periodically check and refresh your supplies,, cant say how many times ive used a consumable item, say the boullion cube, fishing line, trioxane bars, chocolate or matches out of my kit....or like how my compass reversed it self, or like how my cigarettes got wet in my dry bag from that pinhole leak....survival is not the time to find out your gears faulty or incomplete!

I haven't had much luck with waterproofing the pill pouches yet. I will try to completely cover them with tape. That should work.

I have had good luck with the card size plastic pouches previously sold at the Hood store. Two water incidents have tested them. My drivers license, money. etc stayed dry!

Id reccomend you do a layered approach. try using a good quality nylon pouch such as those made by Condor and Maxpedition and then use waterproof pouches for those things that need it. This allows you a better quality of general purpose gear that then includes the necessary water sensitive gear you want.
in addition, choosing certain gear that is innately waterproof such as lights by Pelican and UKE will allow you to not worry so much about them.

That's the direction I'm headed. Waterproof pouches are either bulky or unreliable.

Double line your carry, maxpedition,etc..., with 2 kitchen bag liners, preferably clear. You can use these for several things and they protect the contents. Store your head rag or other cotton cloth in bottom for moisture absorption from condensation.

Addictive knife buying isn't guided by logic.
